Gastric Bypass Surgery Support Group

Gastric bypass (GBP) is any of a group of similar operative procedures used to treat morbid obesity, a condition which arises from severe accumulation of excess weight in the form of fatty tissue, and the health problems ("co-morbidities") which result. If you are considering gastric bypass or have had it, join the community where we share our experiences and find support.

have you contacted your doctor about the nausea? I am only 10 days post-op and I have not experience any nausea, so I don't know what to say. Were you that way when you first came home from the hospital?

Over the next 6 months you will have days when you feel great! and days when you feel horrid, sometimes for no apparent reason. but usually it is something to do with a food you ate or you are just having a hard healing day.

Learn to enjoy the good days when you have them, as they help you get thru the yucky days. We all have them.

Watch what you are eating, it may be a particular thing is making you nauseas. Whether it is the food itself or maybe you aren't chewing that particular food as well as you could. Both of these things could be culprits.
God Bless!

I too have been feeling very nauseas lately. I'm 14 days out and the last week has been awful. I don't care whether its protein drinks, water or whatever, I'm sick to my stomach all day. I wasn't given anything to help - what do you guys suggest?

After my surgery I was nauseated constantly. The went on for four weeks. I finally called the doctor and nutritionist and we discovered I could not tolerate the protein supplements. They made me throw up and I was faint and dizzy. They both told me this is not uncommon. So, maybe this is what it is. I did ok with the carnation instant breakfast, but could not tolerate the protein powders of any kind. Just a thought cause it happened to me......take care.

I would suggest contacting your surgeon. Six weeks out you should be pretty well healed and
tolerating food. Sure there will be some that may upset your system but you shouldn't be nauseated all the time. It seems a bit early for a stricture but it is possible. Are you keeping track of what you are eating and looking for a pattern? I hope this resolves for you soon.
Good luck!

I developed a stricture early, my surgeon also said that there is 3% that have nausea the whole time and they never know what is causing it and then some people it will go away just as quickly as it came. Make sure the surgeon is aware of it.

Amy,Call your doctor, or go to the emergency room. I have the same problem as you.I had my surgury on 7/17/08. This week I had to go to the emergency room because I have not been able to eat or drink for the past 2 weeks. I was so week all I could do is sleep. They found out I had a gastric ulcer and a hiatus hernia. I was on IV's for 3 days trying to get everything back to normal.

hi Amy I am now nearly 4 months down the line and I have lost 150 pounds. I went through acute vomiting in month one where coffee tea everything made me vomit. I stuck with yoghurt if you can i think you will find the vomiting will die down. Dont even try solids your body may not be ready fort them yet. Forget where you think you should be at this stage and let your body heal at its own rate. Trust me it gets easier I avoid certain foods like the plague now and follow a very simple diet. But I look and feel better than I have in years....Its worth it I promise you. Its ok to leave food on the plate and throw it away. Its a huge change in how we look at food but persevere mentally and your body will love you.
GOOD LUCK
